Introduction

It's anything but an evergreen or incompletely deciduous tree to 5 m-10 m tall, and 15 cm-20 cm in DBH.

Populace development, urbanization and the unhindered assortment of therapeutic plants from the wild is bringing about an over-abuse of normal assets. In India, of the 17,000 types of higher plants, 7500 are known for therapeutic uses.
